Graphic fiction or a graphic novel is a comic book
narrative that is equivalent in form and dimension to
the prose novel (Campbell 200, 81). The pictures are
arranged in sequenced in image panels and
dialogues are written in speech bubbles. The
illustrations allow the readers to imagine and
experience the characters and events in the story.
ABSTRACTION
Here are some of the features of graphic fiction or
graphic novel according to Singh
(2012).

1. Autographic forms are the marks of author’s


handwriting which creates an impact that the whole
novel is a manuscript and thus provides a sense of
ABSTRACTION

of the reader as he fills in the blanks image panels.

ABSTRACTION

novel spring primarily through the relationship
between images than words.

Flash fiction is imaginative literature of


extreme brevity. It could range from a word to
a thousand (Gacusan 2018). It is known as
micro stories, postcard fiction, nanotales and
short shorts.
ABSTRACTION
Here are some of the flash fictions:

1. “Angels and Blueberries” by Tara Campbell is a story

depends on who’s answering.

clone shows up at your house.”
ABSTRACTION
3. “Unnecessary Things” by Tatyana Tolstaya is a story of
finding an old and torn teddy bear, “unnecessary things”
(items that do not serve any useful purpose), that she adored

First line: This Teddy bear once had amber eyes made from
special glass- each one had a pupil and an iris. The bear
itself was gray and stiff, with wiry fur. I adored him.

According to Sustana (2020), most of the flash fictions have
these common characteristics.
1. Brevity. Flash fiction presents the story with fewest
words as possible.
2. Complete plot. Flash fiction emphasizes the development
of plot. Itt has a beginning, middle, and ending of the story.
3. Surprising ending. The successful hallmark of a flash
fiction is its twist at the end of the story.

comics presented?

2. What are the similarities of a three-panel


comic to that of a flash fiction and graphic
novel?
ABSTRACTION Three-panel comics, like flash fiction and graphic novels,
share certain characteristics that contribute to their
storytelling effectiveness despite their brevity. Here are some
similarities:

1. Conciseness and Brevity:


• Similar to flash fiction, three-panel comics thrive on
brevity, conveying a complete narrative or idea within a
limited space.
• Both mediums demand the economy of words or visuals
to tell a story efficiently.
ABSTRACTION 2. Focus on Essential Elements:

• Like flash fiction, three-panel comics emphasize


essential elements such as plot, character, conflict,
and resolution, ensuring each panel contributes
significantly to the narrative.

• They both condense storytelling, focusing on the most


crucial aspects to convey a complete story or idea
effectively.
ABSTRACTION 3. Visual and Narrative Impact:

• Similar to graphic novels, three-panel comics rely


heavily on visual storytelling to complement the
narrative.
• Each panel, akin to a graphic novel's page, contributes
to the visual and narrative impact, utilizing visual cues,
character expressions, and settings to convey
meaning efficiently.
ABSTRACTION 4. Emphasis on Storytelling Structure:

• Both three-panel comics and graphic novels


follow a sequential storytelling structure.
• They utilize the arrangement and pacing of
panels to guide the reader through the
narrative, much like the sequential panels in a
graphic novel spread.
ABSTRACTION 5. Economy of Space and Information:

• Both three-panel comics and flash fiction must


make every element count due to their limited
space or word count.
• They aim to deliver maximum impact within a
minimal framework, requiring careful selection
of details and story elements.
ABSTRACTION 6. Narrative Closure or Openness:

• Similar to flash fiction, three-panel comics often


aim for narrative closure within a limited space,
providing a resolution or an impactful ending.
• However, like graphic novels, they might also
leave room for open-endedness or ambiguity,
allowing readers to interpret or imagine beyond
the confines of the three panels.
Performance Task: Create a three-panel comic of the
APPLICATION stories you had read in the previous discussions. Choose
